Definitions

  • the present invention relates to a chemical process for destroying halogenated organic products and more particularly chlorinated aromatic products such as for example PCBs (polychlorinated biphenyls) optionally mixed with non-chlorinated organic products.
  • chlorinated aromatic products such as for example PCBs (polychlorinated biphenyls) optionally mixed with non-chlorinated organic products.
  • European patent application EP 21294 describes the destruction of dioxins, in particular chlorinated anisoles containing 39.7 ppm of 2,3,7,8-tetrachlorodibenzo-p-dioxin, by reacting these products under pressure with sodium methylate in methanol at 160 ° C.
  • dioxins in particular chlorinated anisoles containing 39.7 ppm of 2,3,7,8-tetrachlorodibenzo-p-dioxin
  • the invention relates to all halogenated products but more particularly to products containing aryl carbons substituted with chlorine and / or bromine.
  • this family we find for example chlorinated or brominated dioxins, chlorinated dibenzofurans or brominated, the (polychloro) biphenyls, the (polybromo) biphenyls, the (polybromo) diphenyl ethers, the (polychloro) diphenyl ethers.
  • These products can be pure or mixed together or as a mixture with non-halogenated organic products, such as polyarylalkanes, mineral oils.
  • the invention allows the destruction of any halogenated product, it is advantageously used for products containing less than 1% by weight of halogen and preferably less than 1000 ppm.
  • any alcoholate derived from a monoalcohol, a diol or a triol and an alkali metal can be used and among them the methylates and glycol alcoholate or polyglycol, methylate, ethylate are advantageously used , sodium, lithium or potassium propylate or isopropylate or a mixture of these products and preferably sodium methylate.
  • the alcoholate is added to the halogenated products or to the mixture containing the halogenated products.
  • powdered sodium methylate is used.
  • the stoichiometry being an alcoholate function per halogen atom to be eliminated, an amount of alcoholate is used in excess with respect to this stoichiometry. Very good dehalogenation is obtained by using an excess of 5 to 10 times the stoichiometry. For example, if a mixture contains PCBs in proportion to 100 ppm expressed as chlorine, an amount of sodium methylate of 0.14% is used.
  • the halogenated organic products are brought into contact with the alcoholate with stirring, for example in a stirred reactor or a packed column, or any other device allowing sufficient stirring so that the alcoholate is well dispersed and is in contact with the products. halogenated the time necessary for their destruction.
  • the reaction can be carried out continuously or batchwise.
  • the reaction kinetics increase with temperature. It is possible to use a temperature between 220 and 300 ° C., it is preferred to operate between 250 and 290 ° C. Depending on the physical properties of the products (ten steam) is operated at atmospheric pressure or at higher pressure.
  • the reaction time is a function of the amounts of organic halogen, the temperature, the amount of alcoholate, the stirring conditions to effect good contacting of the reagents; it is usually between 30 minutes and 10 hours.
  • the invention is particularly useful for destroying aryl halogenated products contained in a mixture, for example a non-halogen dielectric liquid or a mineral oil containing PCBs.
  • a mixture for example a non-halogen dielectric liquid or a mineral oil containing PCBs.
  • the process of the invention is applied to this product containing PCBs or other chlorinated products, then the inorganic halogenated products are separated for example by distillation from the other products.
  • a mineral oil is thus obtained, a dielectric free from organic chlorine.
  • the process of the present invention is also used in addition to a sodium carbonate process.
  • Sodium carbonate is very easy to handle but only removes aliphatic halogens as well as the most labile aryl halogens.
  • the process of the invention makes it possible to obtain a product with an aryl halogen content of less than 10 ppm.
  • the advantage of this process is that, although it applies to products having poorly reactive halogen atoms, it does not require the use of solvents; That is to say, it suffices to add an alcoholate for example to the oil containing the PCBs without having to add, in addition to the alcoholate, alcohol corresponding to the alcoholate as in EP 21294.
  • This process does not require at the end of treatment, before recovering the products free of aryl halogens, of prior separation of the excess alcoholate, in particular sodium methylate.
  • Another advantage of the process is that the by-products formed such as NaCl chloride, halogenated aryl products transformed by the alcoholate and the remainder of unreacted alcoholate can be easily destroyed by incineration without generating toxic products.
  • DBT dibenzyltoluene
  • This mixture is placed in a reactor fitted with rotary agitation, an ascending cooler and a nitrogen injector. After sweeping for 15 minutes with a stream of nitrogen at 100 ° C., 1% by weight (ie 10 g) of sodium methylate is added. The medium is brought to reflux at 285 ° C., with stirring and flushing with nitrogen for 3 hours. The product is then distilled with progressive vacuuming up to 2 mm of mercury so as not to exceed 300 ° C in the bottom. The distillate obtained has a total aromatic chlorine content of 3 ppm.
  • Example 2 DBT is treated as in Example 1 but with NaOC2H5, KOCH3, KOC2H5, NaOCH (CH3) 2, under the conditions of Example 1. The results are shown in the table.
